Alice Guo, naka-bulletproof vest at helmet nang dinala sa senado para sa hearing

She was brought to the senate wearing a bulletproof vest and a helmet.

During the hearing several senators chastised her for fleeing the Philippines, and for the manner that she was answering questions.

Sen. Joel Villanueva and Sen. Jinggoy Estrada were among those who called her out.

Alice Leal Guo was the Mayor of the Municipality of Bamban, Tarlac. She won as mayor during the national elections in 2022. She became known nationwide after her name was dragged into the ongoing Senate investigations regarding Philippine Offshore Gaming Operations or (POGO) and the alleged proliferation of illegal immigrants. Her name has been the subject of many online memes since then. She has been dismissed by the Ombudsman.

Earlier, in a screengrab of a video shared by GMA News, Guo was seen wearing a bulletproof vest and helmet as she was brought to the Senate. The video, which was shared on social media by the office of Senator Risa Hontiveros, also showed that Guo is already in the Senate premises. It can be recalled that Sen. Risa last Friday shared a copy of a document showing the court permitting Guo to attend Senate hearings. The dismissed official was arrested in Jakarta, Indonesia last week, turned over to Philippine authorities and brought back to the Philippines.
